Hey You!

Ten to the power of two = 100

So, when 42.6 is divided by 100, Sue should move the decimal 2 places to the left (before the 4).

42.6 ÷ 100 = 0.426

Answer: she will move it twice towards the left direction

Step-by-step explanation:

10 to the power of 2 is 100

42.6/100 = 0.426

Whenever you are dividing by hundred, when you shift the decimal once to the left, one of the zero will go away, when you shift the decimal again to the left the remaining zero will go away.
